Politics and Health is all about HUNGER

Brazil is a strange country. The politicization of health looks to 2022 and does not see the people, its voters. Legislators focus on regulatory agencies, state bodies and want to interfere with ANVISA, they judicialize everything and legislate nothing and the judiciary that should judge relevant facts on demand exercise their power by interfering with the other two powers of the republic. What a republic! And what does all this have to do with hunger? EVERYTHING!.

The people are hungry. 70 million Brazilians joined the CAIXA line to receive emergency aid. If we consider 3 people per household, we exceed the Brazilian population. There seems to be something wrong with this system that preserves the privileges of the political class, promotes tax breaks while maintaining subsidies to sectors of the economy and does not renew emergency aid.

Well, while dozens of parties are articulated to maintain an incestuous relationship between the powers that be, the people are hungry, there are no ICU beds, humble people die of asphyxiation due to lack of oxygen and vaccines, even though there are resources to acquire them.

2022 starts a year earlier, which means there is little to look forward to for this biennium. With this warning signal, recurrent by the way, organized civil society is left to articulate itself to serve vulnerable populations and, as it is not possible to embrace all social problems at the same time, CWIST made its choice: it brought together two non-profit organizations, the Fundação Amazonas Sustentável (FAS) and INMED Partnerships for Children and is calling on society to serve vulnerable populations in the Amazon by producing food with modern and effective solutions to feed natives of the forest. We launched the US$ 2 million challenge that will allow service through the system INMED Aquaponics® riverside populations and indigenous communities with fresh and nutritious food. With their families fed, the natives assisted by FAS will be able to occupy themselves with keeping the forest standing.

Let’s join our hero Alex Slama, contributing to this campaign that associates them with two of the most relevant themes in UN agenda for 2030, ZERO hunger and the preservation of the Environment. Individuals or legal entities will be able to associate their brands aimed at social inclusion and the fight against deforestation and burning voluntarily. While politics and economics seek to understand each other, we do our part. Join us and be a hero!
